Hello,
I'm afraid that this is a problem associated with vsdredirect (the VERY
basic port redirector used to redirect port 80 to 8080 and 443 to 8443).
As a result of the way sockets are used, the source IP address gets
replaced by that of the hosting server, causing the secure bits to fail
with https. This can be resolved by running apache as root (bad) or
using ipchains to do the port redirection (ugly) or iptables in the 2.4
kernel (not supported yet).
I believe that the first two methods have been covered in the
documentation, and I'm working on the third (will be available with the
RH 7.1 port).
HTH,
Damion.
